Non-Weighted Nymphs/ Emergers

The original Gary LaFontaine sparkle pupa. It creates a bubble of air within the body that makes it look like the real deal to the fish. MUST HAVE

John Barrs original “Barr’s Emerger” is one of the best BWO nymph/emergers ever designed. It’s simplicity, as in all of John’s patterns, makes it work. A must have folks.

The CDC Loop Wing is designed to fish in the film when picky trout are not taking adults. Fish as a dry fly.

Another of Charlie Craven’s must have patterns. Fish this emerger deep or right behind a dry fly on fluorocarbon tippet.

This is a perfect example of an uncased Brachycentrus larva before it pupates. Fish it deep behind a heavy Stonefly nymph in the early mornings during spring.

Shea Gunkels amazing shallow water nymph with a glass bead. This is an extremely hard to beat pattern when fish are being picky and picking up bugs mid water column and up.

The little DEMON midge. Hell of a fly

A very good dragon fly nymph pattern by Phillip Rowley. Use this nymph for stillwater success!

The CDC RS2 is a great little mayfly nymph/emerger!

A simple and effective little shrimp pattern.

A great leech pattern for lakes and streams.

“After spending my time guiding in Montana and central Wyoming, I set out to tie a versatile midge pattern by blending a few of my favorite patters.

I quickly came to realize that though I was aiming for a midge pattern, it fished better as a BWO.
